National Political Chart from the 1860 Presidential Campaign

Description

This was a political chart published probably prior to Abraham Lincoln receiving the Republican Party nomination. Charts were generally ways in which the public learned and communicated about Presidential candidates, though H. H. Lloyds & Co would have done this as a commercial product. On the frame of the chart, every President from George Washington to James Buchanan is present with their facial sketch and write-up. In the middle, all of the major candidates to be considered for their parties nomination is listed. The vice president names would have been included with corresponding discussion. Also, the Constitutional Union and Southern Democratic Party nominees are present. The Abraham Lincoln background does not stand out any more than other candidates, seemed like a dark horse. There were also text articles which included the four major party platforms. One article which stands out is on Sam Houston, exalting his abilities. Lastly, a map of the US is included for geographical orientation mostly.

1860 Campaign Tickets for Democratic and Republican Party

Description

These are two separate tickets placed side by side in the photo. The one on the left is a Republican Party Illinois Election Ticket as verified by Library of Congress. The one on the right would be the Democratic Party Election Ticket, researching James Allen who name is found under governor on the ballot we know he served in both the 33rd and 35th Congress of Illinois before unsuccessfully running for Governor. The year 1860 is handwritten on both ballots. Richard Yates was the Republican nominee for Illinois Governor who won that election and remained in that office throughout the Civil War. The way people voted is much different from today. These tickets featured in the Church collection may have been part of a party newspaper. Typically, voters could cut them out and present them at a polling place.

Lincoln Political Banner from 1860 Election

Description

This political banner for the 1860 Presidential election is likely a copy of a lithograph on linen featuring the Republican Party nominees Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin. "The flag was meant to hang like a banner in parades and other political spectacles, so that Lincoln's face would be oriented vertically. The printer liberally changed the spelling of Lincoln's first name ("Abram") to accommodate his design." The banner contains 33 stars symbolizing how many states were in the Union.
